...Virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed...
Patrick Henry (1736-1799) US Founding Father

Is it no wonder that we feel differently about the people of Iraq, when theAmerican media only reports sensational news? If it doesn’t bleed or explode,you just aren’t going to see it on the evening news. I received a press releasefrom Baghdad today, which I know the mainstream media will not pass on to youall. Here is an example of Iraqi charity and gratitude which touched my soul.Imagine how incredibly generous these soldiers are. They have little to supporttheir own families. It’s not enough that they are fighting daily to bring peaceto their country. They are actually reaching out to help unfortunateAmericans.

It was a long night, Mr. Speaker, when we heard back the reports as the newsreports said that a plane has gone down in Ely, Minnesota, and it was thought tobe containing Paul Wellstone and his partner, Sheila Wellstone, and theirdaughter and several other campaigners. We hoped all night that what we thought might have happened didn't happen, but at the end of the evening, we learned that that tragedy, in fact, did occur. Our worst fears were confirmed when we learned that we lost him, but it was a long several hours before we realizedthat that tragedy had actually occurred, and we had hoped against hope. I willnever forget that night.
